Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus with a guide channel for supplying cartridges arranged on a belt from a magazine to a machine gun by a drive acting on the belt or on the cartridge with, each belt member comprising a double claw guided with guide noses in the guide channel which axially and radially fixes the cartridge, as well as a single claw engaging in fixed manner between the double claw of the adjacent belt member in a flush, rotary manner, but fixed in the axial and belt direction, and with belt members being separable by an approximately radial movement.
  • Belts with disassemblable belt members are used in many machine guns in caliber range approximately 12.7 to 40 mm, different belt constructions being known.
  • the invention relates to belts, in which each belt member comprises a double claw and an adjacent single claw, the double claw assentially assuming the retaining functions for the cartridge by resiliantly engaging round more than half the circumference of the cartridge by the two claws thereof and thereby radially fixes the same, as well as by of projections arranged thereon engages in a circumferential groove of the cartridge and consequently axially fixes the same.
  • the single claw is fitted so that it can be pivoted to a limited extent to all sides on a web connecting the two claws of the double claw.
  • the connecting function for the belt and is rotatable on the cartridge.
  • the individual claw By its outwardly bevelled, lateral edges, the individual claw is mounted in a rotatable and axially fixed manner in grooves on the facing lateral edges of the two claws of the double claw, so that the belt is given its flexibility.
  • the individual belt members are interconnected by axial insertion of the cartridge, in that the cartridge radially fixes the individual claw whilst maintaining the rotatability thereof.
  • the double claw also guides the belt in the supply directions for the machine guns, in that on both claws are arranged outwardly projecting noses in spaced manner from the cartridge and which engage in corresponding guide grooves on the supply means
  • the cartridge belt is stored in an also carried magazine, e.g. in a ring magazine and is supplied by means of a mechanical drive from the magazine, via a guide channel to the gun.
  • the magazine is generally equipped with a follow-up drive, which ensures that the belt can always run in a completely satisfactory manner into the guide channel.
  • the problem of the present invention is to provide a largely mechanically operating apparatus, which permits cartridge filling to take place without any significant manual activity.
  • the problem to be solved is that of permitting refilling with cartridges, while eliminating manual activity.
  • the guide channel between the magazine and the mechanical belt drive has a separating point and beneath it a channel portion in the form of a switch point pivotable about a transverse spindle from the loading position and which can be aligned with a replacement ammunition channel,
  • a pivoting device acting on the channel portion is provided which, after filling the magazine, separates the replacement ammunition belt at the separating point between the channel portion and the replacement ammunition channel and after pivoting back aligns the belt member located below the separating point in the channel portion with the guide channel part leading to the weapon, whereupon
  • the belt is conveyed by the hand drive into the guide channel part leading to the weapon to such an extent that it is engaged by the drive leading to the weapon or by the actual weapon.
  • the invention makes use of the principle of constructing a short portion of the guide channel in the manner of a switch or routing point, which is constantly connected to the guide channel leading to the magazine and can be aligned, as required, with the guide channel part leading to the weapon or with the replacement ammunition channel.
  • the hand drive makes it possible to introduce the replacement ammunition belt into the magazine until it is automatically tightened up by the magazine drive.
  • the channel portion is pivoted back and is brought into alignment with the guide channel leading to the gun.
  • the pivoting device is constructed in such a way that it automatically separates the belt member which has last entered the channel portion from the replacement ammunition belt and moves the belt member into the loading position.
  • the invention also makes it possible to solve the second part of the aforementioned problem in that for refilling the pivoting device separates the two belt members of the belt in the loading position located at the separating point between the channel portion and the guide channel, moves the belt member above same from the pivoting path of the channel portion, pivots the underlying belt member together with the cartridge located therein into the replacement ammunition channel and connects same to a corresponding empty belt member at the leading end of the replacement ammunition belt, then the replacement ammunition belt can be conveyed into the magazine until its belt member occupied by cartridges at the trailing end is located in the channel portion and finally, after pivoting back the channel portion into the loading position, the pivoting device moves back the belt member in the separating position to its initial position and thereby connects same to the belt member in the channel portion.
  • the belt leading from the magazine to the machine gun is separated at a random point, which is preferably easily accessible, the belt portion extending from the magazine into the pivotable channel portion is brought up to the replacement ammunition belt following the pivoting of the channel portion and during said pivoting movement is connected to the leading end of the replacement ammunition belt. In this position, the replacement ammunition belt can be introduced into the magazine, which optionally takes place automatically with the magazine follow-up drive.
  • the channel portion When the desired belt length has been stored in the magazine, the channel portion is pivoted back and the belt member which has last been introduced into the channel portion is separated from the replacement ammunition belt and in the loading position is connected to the belt member positioned directly above the separating point, so that the belt running to the machine gun is again closed.
  • it is necessary following the separation of a belt member in the vicinity of the separating point of the channel portion with respect to the guide channel leading to the machine gun, to move the last belt member therein out of the pivoting path of the channel portion and to move the first belt member in the channel portion, together with the cartridge therein into the cartridge filling position, where it is connected to the empty belt member posistioned at the leading end.
  • the pivoting device moves the double claw of the belt member half positioned above the separating point and located directly below the latter out of the pivoting path of the channel portion, pivots the single claw corresponding thereto of the belt member below it, together with the cartridge therein and the channel portion up to the replacement ammunition channel, introduces same there into the empty double claw of the leading belt member of the replacement ammunition belt and after filling the channel portion pivots same back into the loading position together with the single claw which has just been introduced of the replacement ammunition belt and the inserted cartridge and moves back the double claw of the belt member positioned above the separating point into its initial position, so that same is placad on the single claw on the cartridge and consequently again closes the belt.
  • the hand drive is formed from a starwheel provided with a starting crank with an arrangement of the star arms engaging between the cartridges corresponding to the belt spacing and the starwheel is mounted on tha channel portion and can be pivoted with same from the loading position into the filling position and back again.
  • the hand drive constructed in simple manner consequently follows the movement of the channel portion and can consequently fulfil its function both in the filling position and in the loading position. Both during filling with cartridges and during the subsequent feeding of the belt from the magazine into the channel leading to the gun, only a few revolutions on the hand crank are required, because then during the filling process for the belt tightening takes place through the magazine drive and during the loading process of the belt by means of the mechanical drive in the guide channel.
  • the starwheel includes a locking pawl and, in the locked position, serves as a detent for the belt in the channel portion.
  • an engageable and disengageable backstop for the belt located in part of the guide channel is provided immediately above the separating point between the channel portion and the guide channel part leading to the weapon.
  • the belt stop is placed on the pivoting device and, on pivoting out of the channel portion, can be moved from a position below the belt path into a position engaging the guide channel and fixing the cartridge located directly above the separating point.
  • the backstop engages on the last where the cartridge immediately upstream of the separation point and, consequently, fixes the same.
  • the channel portion immediately below the separating point has a separate wall portion with a part of the guide for the noses of a double claw and wherein the wall portion is arranged on the pivoting device and, during movement thereof, performs a pivoting movement about an axis of the cartridge located immediately above the separation point together with the double claw without a cartridge.
  • a driver located in the loading position outside the belt path which, at the start of pivoting movement of the channel portion, can be moved into a position fixing in the single claw the cartridge located immediately below the separating point and, while maintaining this position, is pivotable with the channel portion into the filling position and, after coupling, the single claw for the leading empty double claw of the replacement ammunition belt and pressing the cartridge into the same can be moved back into the position outside the belt path.
  • the top cartridge in the channel portion immediately below the separating point is fixed by a driver and is consequently fixed and completely satisfactorily positioned so that it is possible to satisfactorily connect the part of the belt member moved during the pivoting of the channel portion as well as the cartridge with the leading empty belt member located in the replacement ammunition channel.
  • the driver In the filling and loading position, the driver can be moved into a position outside the belt path.
  • the driver and the backstop for the belt in the loading position above the separating point are arrested or stopped in their position below the belt path.
  • a detent is provided for the driver and the backstop above the separating point to ensure that these parts do not pass in anicoly manner into the belt path with the belt running.
  • the detent may, in accordance with the present invention, be formed by a stop arranged on the pivoting device and acting in the loading position.
  • a spring element locked in the loading position between the stop and the driver which, when the stop is ineffective, moves the driver onto the cartridge located below the separating point and, after pivoting the channel portion into the filling position, can be forced back again by a stop located there.
  • a skid extending in the loading position into the path of the replacement ammunition belt and simultaneously forms an entry stop and a positioning stop for the belt and only releases the latter toward the end of the pivoting movement of the channel portion.
